Alan Joyce could be paid $23.6 million for his last year at Qantas, but the airline says some $10 million in bonuses for its former chief executive are up in the air as it grapples with shareholder anger and allegations it wrongly sold thousands of tickets on flights it had already decided to cancel.

The airline said an $8.36 million long-term incentive payment could be clawed back at the board’s discretion, while a $2.2 million short-term bonus would not be paid until there was more information about the Australian Competition and Consumer Commission’s claim against the company.
